Hi everyone! need your opinion, insights , every opinion is welcome :) Long story short i have Greek children nursery rhymes and animated stories, and recently my channel was suspended from YPP for low-quality kids content (the latest ban wave for animation channels on YT). My appeal was rejected. I asked support what I need to improve, but they sent the general quality principles without identifying which category applies to my channel. I use AI tools for visuals, animation and music, with my own scripts, storyboards, creative direction and manual videoediting & DAW for the audio part. Has anyone here faced something similar and managed to understand what needed changing? If anyone has a few minutes, I would also appreciate honest feedback on this example. An example the Little Red Riding Hood classic story but in nursery rhyme style, lyrics are OC ( I wrote myself) and not a PD, the animation pacing with the lyrics, so the Greek language may make it harder to assess , I can provide an English translation if helpful. What, if anything, would you change to make the story clearer and more suitable for young children? I’m open to criticism and trying to understand what I may be missing. Each video took me around 40 hours, sometimes more, from lyrics, script and storyboard to production and post-production. Since begin of the channel, I have not deleted any of my videos, i kept them as a record of my progress, so I can look back see what worked and what didn’t, and improve the next one. Sorry for the long post <3 Thanks for you time! George

Hi there, I may be out of time here, but I wander if anyone can help with this issue. I purchased CTA5 last year and I still was not able to use because of one little issue, which I struggled at that time, and it took so much of my time and I could not solve, so gave up, now I returned to study on it, and I’m struggling again with the same issue. I’m following the tutorials from Mark D on here, and when he riggs a character with free bones it looks so easy, but when I go to CTA5, that’s when the problem starts, and seems to work differently or maybe it’s some configuration I need to pay attention. First, I separated my character, which is a gecko, into parts using affinity photo (Mark does in photoshop but I’m following it exactly the same) then place the cross marks to reference where the pivot points will be, and export to a PSD file. However, when I import into CTA5 and go to composer mode, exactly as the tutorial teaches, click on the central pivot, open the bone editor, then click on the next bone. Her it should connect the two pivots with the yellow line representing a bone, but it doesn’t. I have to add bone then click again in the main pivot to start the chain, then click in the next one, and it will connect. Now it comes the bigger issue. When I go to the next pivot, which is let’s say, an arm, this arm is a separate sprite, so CTA5 does not connect the bone to the image, it goes grey. I tried many different things, and one on them I clicked on “connect” then “add bone” then connected the two pivots, its one way I thought it had worked as it did not go grey, however, when I go to preview, and move the bones, it move the bones but not the body part, which means the bones are not linked to the images. I had spent all my energy on this and it just nothing works, what do you think this could be, some configuration, the software is corrupted, is there anything difference on this matter from CTA4 to CTA5, as Mark uses CTA4 in this tutorial and I use CTA5? Can you help me please?

Hi @Mark Diaz Curiosity question. I just post ed my final video for On The Run. When I played it back on from the community a few of the frames seemed off from the music, but on my computer and in the Davinci Resolve video editor everything is lined up. Is there a reason for this? Thanks Larry Williams

Hey @Mark Diaz I may have gotten ahead of myself. I did the upscale and adjusted some camera angles etc.. I went to do the rendering thing so I could post the deliverable but i looked different then the way you did it. I'm using the free version of Davinci Resolve. After hitting export I didn't see it say "media", it said "timeline". There was a different button that said "Export Project". If you could let me know the steps for Davinci Resolve that would be great! Also did you get the "Pay it forward" email I sent you? Thanks Larry

Hey @Mark Diaz or anybody I'm trying to render each image of the timeline but it doesn't use the same instructions as in the video in the lesson with Premiere Pro. It does have an image choice only a video choice so when I try to render a frame it gives me a bunch of images. I need to know how to do this in Davinci Resolve where I just get one image for each frame. I mark the in and out point and make sue it says only in and out points. I get just that section but there's like 30 images. Need some guidance.
